November 20, 2014 - Opaque purple. Inviting fruity nose - promise a rich plummy palate but crucially doesn't suggest a cooked, jammy wine. Impressive. There's a hint of a cinnamon spiciness which carries through on the palate, which also delivers the plummy, blackberry fruit that the nose suggested at. There's a bit of a burn on the finish, which attacks a little bit earlier than you'd like, creating a slight moment where the threshold of spiciness is overstepped, but a solid, economical example of Aussie Shiraz.
